In: Egyptian Journal of Nutrition and Feeds 2005.v8(1)Summary: Three groups, each of 5 growing male buffalo calves with average initial body weight 274.46 Kg. were used in feeding trials to study the effect of using of canola meal as a source of protein in concentrate feed mixture (CFM), on buffalo calves performance, and some rumen and blood parameters. Three isonitrogenus CFM with 0, 15, 30% of canola meal, were offered to groups as 2.5% of body weight. Rice straw was used ad lib for all groups. Three digestion trials were carried out to determine the feeding value of the experimental rations. Results indicated that most of nutrient digestibility coefficients and feeding values TDN and DCP were not affected by increase canola meal in CFM. While CF digestibility coefficient decreased and EE increased with the increase of canola meal. Increased canola meal in CFM had no effect on blood serum parameters except AST value, body weight changes, feed intake and feed conversion, while caused decrease in cost of Kg gain. Under the circumstances of this study, it can be concluded that the use of canola meal in CFM had no bad effect on buffalo calves performance, reduced cost of gain production and improved economic efficiency.
